The small building beside Sea God Lake ushered in the second morning.
Lin Ciyan had just finished one round of operation of <Great Dream Freedom Scripture> and walked out of Cultivation Room refreshed, when he heard slight movement outside the courtyard door.
Not Zhang Lexuan.
Lexuan informed Message Crane last night that Inspection Group's urgent task was a bit difficult and required her to leave the hospital for a few days. She might not be able to come back in these days.
Who could it be?
His mental strength was slightly scanned, and the coldness outside the courtyard door contained a subtle and uneasy Soul Power fluctuation, which made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
Opening the courtyard door, sure enough.
Ling Luochеn is standing outside the door.
She changed into a light blue waist-length skirt today, and the style was more slim-fitting than yesterday's.
The ice-blue long hair was not completely tied up, and part of it was spread smoothly around her shoulders, making her beautiful and beautiful face a little less cold and a little more soft.
The morning sun shone on her skin as white as snow, as if it was glowing with a faint glimmer.
Seeing Lin Ciyan, her ice blue eyes flickered slightly and her lips pursed slightly, as if she was doing some mental construction.
"Senior Luo Chen, morning." Lin Ciyan stepped aside, "What's the matter?"
Ling Luochеn walked into the small courtyard, his eyes quickly swept across the neat and elegant courtyard, his voice tried hard to maintain its usual coolness, but there was still a trace of tension when listening closely. "Yesterday... Thank you. My Martial Soul, I feel better than ever."
"It takes a little effort." Lin Ciyan smiled, "Senior sister came here specially just to talk about this?"
"Of course not." Ling Luochеn turned around and faced him directly, a trace of determination flashed in his ice eyes.
"You have just joined Inner Court, so you must not be familiar with Shrek City."
"Just in time, I heard that there are several good new stores opened in the city, some specializing in Far North specialties, and there is also a Soul Tool experience center. As a senior, I want to familiarize you with the environment, and by the way... enhance the relationship with classmates."
After she finished speaking, her fair earlobes turned slightly pink, but she looked at Lin Ciyan calmly, as if this was a normal concern for her juniors.
Lin Ciyan I found it a little interesting to see her pretending to be nonchalant even though she was obviously nervous.
Thinking that Lexuan was away and that he had nothing to do, he nodded. "That's fine, I'll help you, senior Luo Chen."
Seeing Lin Ciyan agree, Ling Luochеn felt a hint of joy in the depths of his ice eyes, and nodded gently. "Then let's set off now."
Shrek City is as prosperous as ever.
Ling Luochеn seems to have really done his homework, walking through the bustling streets with Lin Ciyan.
First I went to a newly opened "Northern Wonders Pavilion", which did have a lot of rare materials, ores and even derivatives of ice attribute Soul Beast from Far North.
Lin Ciyan relied on Five Elements's perception to easily select a few pieces of "Cold Marrow Jade" containing pure ice elements. The shop owner looked haggard.
Then I went to a high-end Soul Tool experience store. Ling Luochеn was not very interested in the attack and defense Soul Tool. Instead, I stopped for a long time in front of a "Ice Condensation Instrument" that can create a small ice and snow environment to assist the ice attribute Soul Master in training.
Lin Ciyan glanced at the complicated Core Array and the expensive price tag, and shook his head in his heart. The effect was far inferior to the aura of Snow Empress Soul Spirit.
Throughout the whole process, Ling Luochеn still didn't talk much, but he always gave timely introductions or suggestions.
She always followed Lin Ciyan at a distance of half a step, her ice-blue skirt swaying with her steps, and her glittering and translucent jade feet were looming.
Occasionally, the surprised or curious glances of passers-by on the road would be automatically filtered by her, and only the peripheral vision would quietly fall on the profile of the young man strolling lazily beside her.
In the afternoon, the two of them rested in a teahouse near the lake. Ling Luochеn sipped tea, looked at the sparkling artificial lake outside the window, and suddenly said softly, "How did your ice... achieve that level?"
Lin Ciyan picked up a piece of snack and said casually, "Good luck, I encountered some opportunities."
"Opportunity..." Ling Luochеn repeated in a low voice, her ice eyes turned to him, and the desire inside was no longer concealed.
"That kind of breath... attracts me very much. I only had a brief contact yesterday, and my Martial Soul bottleneck was loosened. If... if I could feel it for a longer time..."
She didn't say any more, but the light in her eyes, which was a mixture of desire for power and some complicated emotions, already explained everything.
Lin Ciyan put down the snack and looked at her. "Senior Luo Chen, Ultimate Attribute's understanding is not achieved overnight."
"I know." Ling Luochеn squeezed the teacup tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white, "But... even if there is only a slight chance, I want to try. Ci Yan, I..."
She seemed to have mustered up the courage and looked directly at him with her icy blue eyes. "Can I go to your place tonight? I want to feel your cultivation state up close. It's just cultivation!"
She added hastily, but her cheeks blushed uncontrollably.
At dusk, the two returned to Sea God Island.
Standing in front of Lin Ciyan's small courtyard, Ling Luochеn's heartbeat was astonishingly fast.
She knew that this request was very bold, especially now that the college girl Zhang Lexuan had just left.
But during the day in the city, I looked at Lin Ciyan, who was indifferent to everything, but seemed to have everything under control, and felt the constant throbbing in Martial Soul's body from being close to him.
That desire finally overcame the reserve.
For the evolution of Martial Soul, for reaching a higher realm...
Also for the feelings that have quietly grown in my heart.
Lin Ciyan glanced at her. The girl's cold face showed determination and shyness, and her icy eyes were moist, like a cat looking forward to being comforted by its owner.
He smiled and opened the courtyard door, "Come in."
Entering the living room of the small building, Ling Luochеn sat down on the sofa with a little restraint, her back straight, her ice blue dress fit the curves of her body, outlining her slender waist and looming jade feet.
Lin Ciyan poured her a glass of water, then sat down opposite her. "Relax, it's just practice."
Ling Luochеn took the water glass and accidentally touched his fingers with her fingertips. The slightly cool touch made her heart tremble.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Then let's... start?"
"No rush." Lin Ciyan leaned on the back of the sofa with a leisurely attitude, "Let's talk first. Senior Luo Chen, how much do you know about Ultimate Ice?"
When it comes to the professional field, Ling Luochеn is a little more natural and talks about his understanding of the properties of ice and the bottlenecks he encounters.
Lin Ciyan interjects a few words from time to time, often hitting the nail on the head and pointing directly to the key points.
As they talked, Ling Luochеn's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter, and she looked at him with eyes full of admiration.
Before I knew it, the sky outside the window had darkened.
Lin Ciyan stood up. "Go to Cultivation Room, it's quiet there."
Inside Cultivation Room, two people were sitting cross-legged facing each other.
"Concentrate your mind and try to sense me with your Martial Soul, but don't take the initiative to fuse." Lin Ciyan ordered, while his mind moved slightly.
An extremely weak trace of the ultimate ice breath belonging to Snow Empress Soul Spirit was carefully led out of the body by him and slowly spread around.
Almost at the same time, he quietly cut off Sea of Consciousness's external perception.
It's not that I don't trust Xiyao and Snow Empress, it's just that the next "cultivation" process may be a little... beyond the scope of ordinary practice, so it's better to let them rest temporarily.
Within Sea of Consciousness.
Xiyao, who was playing with Snow Empress (in child form), suddenly tilted his head, and confusion appeared on Light Maiden's beautiful face. "Huh? Ci Yan has blocked the perception? What are you doing?"
Snow Empress raised his big ice-blue eyes, his face expressionless, but his voice was hollow. "There is an ice-attribute aura approaching him from outside. It's very weak, but very pure. It's human."
Xiyao pouted and hugged Snow Empress tighter. "Ignore him, he must be lazy again! Xue'er, let's continue playing and ignore that bad guy."
Cultivation Room Medium.
Ling Luochеn The moment he felt the supreme pure ice breath, his delicate body began to tremble slightly.
She tried her best to control Martial Soul's instinctive restlessness, and followed Lin Ciyan's guidance to carefully use her mental power to contact and feel the breath.
Cold, pure, and noble, it seems to contain the original laws of the ice and snow world...
Her consciousness was gradually immersed in it, and the Soul Power in her body spontaneously moved according to a mysterious trajectory, and the Martial Soul Origin emitted a pleasant chirp.
1 Sisi Impurities are removed, and the quality improves at a slow but firm speed.
Time passes quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but Ling Luochеn slowly withdrew from the deep realization.
When he opened his eyes, the brilliance in his ice-blue eyes was flowing, and he was actually clearer and deeper than before, and his whole aura became much more harmonious.
She felt the changes inside her body, and her surprise was beyond words.
Looking at Lin Ciyan opposite, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, his heart was filled with gratitude and... an indescribable feeling of closeness.
At this moment, Lin Ciyan also opened his eyes and faced each other.
The lighting inside Cultivation Room is soft and quiet.
Ling Luochеn Looking at his handsome face so close, looking at the lazy and gentle smile in his eyes, all the thoughts that he had suppressed during the day surged up again.
Somehow, she spoke softly, with a hint of temptation and more desire in her voice:
"Ci Yan... There is still a bit of a gap in understanding this. If... if we had more direct contact with Soul Power... would the effect be better?"
As soon as the words came out, she blushed first, but she still forced herself to look at him.
The water in his ice eyes shimmered like melting spring ice.
Lin Ciyan looked at her, didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand, palm up.
Ling Luochеn, with her heart beating like a drum, bit her lower lip and gently placed her cool and soft jade hand on his palm.
The moment the two hands touched each other, more pure ice breath flowed along the point of contact.
Ling Luochеn was so comfortable that I almost moaned.
But that's not enough...
She looked at Lin Ciyan. A few strands of her ice-blue long hair fell down to her cheeks, making her skin whiter and more translucent.
She stood up slowly, without withdrawing her hand. Instead, she slowly moved her body in this posture and sat next to Lin Ciyan, almost next to him.
The cold fragrance became clearer and clearer, mixed with the fresh breath unique to the girl just after practicing.
"This... seems a little clearer." She whispered, her voice trembling slightly, and her other hand unconsciously grabbed Lin Ciyan's sleeve.
Lin Ciyan can feel the slight trembling of her body and the accelerated heartbeat, and can also see the determination and shyness deep in her ice eyes.
He sighed and suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her slender but elastic waist.
"Ah!" Ling Luochеn exclaimed softly, and his whole body suddenly fell into a warm and solid embrace.
"Senior Luo Chen," Lin Ciyan lowered his head and looked at the ice beauty who instantly froze in his arms, her cheeks reddening, with a hint of helplessness and amusement in her voice.
"Do you know that this kind of invitation for 'in-depth communication' can easily be misunderstood?"
Ling Luochеn buried her head in his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and feeling the warm breath that made her Martial Soul excited envelope her whole body. All the previous tension and struggle suddenly disappeared.
She raised her flushed cheeks, looked at him with misty but firm eyes, and her voice was as light as a gnat, but extremely clear:
"What if... I said it wasn't a misunderstanding?"
After the words fell, she closed her eyes, raised her face, and pressed her soft, cool lips to hers in a raw and brave manner.
The light of Cultivation Room softly enveloped the two people embracing each other.
Outside the window, the night Sea God Island is getting dark.
